DearComrades:

Ithank you very much for the book you have sent
me[1]and for your friendly letter. I have read the book with
interest. It will undoubtedly be important for the history
of how the Soviet power was organised.

Iam sending you a copy of the just published law on
the district economic councils and the “Mandate”. I hope
that you will get a statistician in advance, give him the
material, verify his work, add to it yourself (together with
essays by some other local Rogozhsko-Simonovsky
comrades, if any are willing to write them) and publish next
autumn a report on thecontentand theresultsof local
economic work by your district Soviet of Deputies. I hope
that you will display initiative in this and that your
district will be among the first in developing local economic
construction.

Ithank you once again, and send you communist
greetings.

V.Ulyanov(Lenin)
